Nick had an oppurtunity to be trained by Lou Duva, but ended up going with a local promoter [[Winky Groom]] who ended up using Nick as a tune-up fighter for other contenders. Wells ended up being a mediocre pro, who was a single parent trying to raise his son Nickolas and trying to fight for money. He chose to be a fireman at the Fort Worth Fire Department, where he has been employed for the last 25 years. Nick has a wife Denise, son Nickolas, daughter Hayley, daughter in law Elizabeth, and grandsons Koltyn, Caden, and Braxon Wells.His amateur career record was 189-18 110kos 72kos in rd1.<br /> <br /> [[Category:United States Amateur Champions|Wells, Nick]]</div>
